The person who promulgated the imperial edict was the old servant who had been serving Rody in the restaurant. He must be Rody's confidant. Shilok did not dare to neglect and hurriedly knelt down to receive the imperial edict.
The above content is very simple, giving Hilo the title of Earl, allowing Hilo to recruit his own army to establish a legion, and at the same time have all financial and military power in the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
If Hilo was just a small person responsible for developing land before, and the Gulfstream island chain belonged directly to Pontos, then now, the entire island chain has become his private property and is protected by the Pontos imperial power.
This decree was concise and clear, almost pushing Shiloh to the forefront. Shiloh had no idea what his cheap dad wanted to do by selling him out at this time.
Accepting the imperial edict with uneasiness in his heart, the old servant lowered his head and whispered in Shiloh's ear: "Your Majesty, Third Prince... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has great expectations for you. Don't let down His Majesty's good intentions."
Shiloh was about to cry but had no tears, and her heart roared with the feeling that Roddy wished that he would die faster.
"What do you call me, old gentleman?"
"This old slave is just a slave. If the earl doesn't mind, you can call me Linde."
"Okay, then... Mr. Linde, do other people in the capital know about this decree?"
Linde smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, the Earl is joking. Tonight at the latest, the entire Pontos Kingdom will know about you as the new Earl and the lord of the Gulf Stream Island Chain."
Shiloh forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. She felt as if her whole body was soaked naked in the icy water of the twelfth lunar month, and the chill was biting.
He couldn't hide it any more now. Shiloh felt that what happened today was too dreamy. Before, he was a down-and-out prince that no one mentioned, but now he has transformed into a noble among several princes.
One of the tallest people.
Even the eldest prince, who has been on foreign campaigns for many years, opened up new territories and made great contributions, is now just an earl like him.
Linde gave him a few more instructions, then returned to the palace with a smile. Shiloh held the scroll of the imperial edict, and before he could say anything, Grolo, who was kneeling behind him to listen to the edict, jumped out with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, you are really going to prosper this time. Your Majesty is so kind to you. Your Majesty, you will definitely prosper in the future!"
Shiloh gritted his teeth and kicked Grolo hard on the butt, causing the monkey-headed man to scream in agony.
"Shut up, you monkey! From today onwards, we will be closed to all guests. No matter who comes, they will say that I am ill and it is inconvenient to meet. Please stop causing trouble outside!"
"Especially you Groluo, if I find the folk girl outside your right turn coming back, I will skin you and make you a turtle man!"
He spat hard, then looked at Connor, who was also thoughtful, and waved.
"Connor, we will strengthen night patrols in the past few days. Once the birthday is over, we will return to Hope Island as soon as possible."
----------------------------------------
His Majesty Rody summoned His Royal Highness the Third Prince who had just returned to Hertoli, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the aristocratic circle.
The most surprising thing is that His Majesty Rody seemed to value this son who had always been misbehaving. He actually rewarded him with the Gulf Stream Island Chain and also gave him the title of earl.
Although a count is nothing in front of the real nobles, the signal sent by His Majesty Rody made more scheming people secretly make plans.
Now there are two major forces in the Kingdom of Pontos, one is the eldest prince Hammond, and the other is the second prince Lewis. The competition for the throne will definitely take place between these two princes.
But now His Majesty Luo Di has introduced Shi Luo, a little-known third prince. What is the profound meaning in this has to make people think a lot.
The next day, many gorgeous aristocratic carriages stopped in front of the deserted Hilo Manor. These nobles were all good at changing the situation. Although they would not seek refuge with Hilo, gaining the friendship of Hilo was not a big deal.
Something bad.
But for some reason, the third prince Shi Luo was not acclimatized at this time and fell seriously ill. He politely declined all visitors and even returned the gifts one by one.
"Haha, pretending to be sick, it seems that the prince whom Connor is loyal to is not an idiot."
Uptown, the Cavendish family, the leader of the Pontos military community, and now the only marshal of the kingdom, Grandpa Conner, after receiving the tip, smiled and patted the armrest of the chair.
Old Marshal McMahon is already old. In his twilight years, his face is wrinkled and his hair is gray, but his voice is extremely loud. At this time, he is looking at a middle-aged man sitting next to him and said happily.
"Father, even if His Highness the Third Prince has enlightened, now he is just a puppet introduced by His Majesty to ease the relationship between the First Prince and the Second Prince. I am worried about Connor."
The man who spoke was covered in fat. He was a fat man like Shiloh. His face was paler than that of a woman. He was wearing a suit of armor, but he looked more like a clown than a general.
The fat man's name is Victor Cavendish, Connor's biological father and the only son of the current Marshal McMahon.
McMahon smiled and said: "Victor, although you have worked hard in the officialdom for so many years, your vision has never been far-sighted. Don't worry, Connor will not have any big problems following the third prince now. It should be said,
This is the best option right now.”
Victor was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced, but he still lowered his head and listened to his father's teachings.
"The eldest prince shows his sharpness and is sitting in the northern military region. He seems to be the most powerful and unstoppable. The second prince is too deep in the city and can move among the major nobles with ease. Now he has accepted that old fox Raphael as his disciple.
, better than before.”
"No matter which one of our stupid boys follows one of them, he is always being used as a weapon for others."
"It's best to follow this third prince."
"I know that you, a father, are worried about your son's future, but don't worry, boy, I will teach you another lesson today, and you will remember it firmly."
"No matter which prince is in power now, you must understand that the person in charge of Pontos is still our Majesty Rody."
Victor looked stern and seemed to understand the meaning of the old marshal's words. He nodded hurriedly and said: "What the father taught is that the son remembers it."
"Well, I hope so... By the way, I'll send someone to the third prince's residence tomorrow."
"Father? The third prince is claiming to be ill now, so why should we send someone over?"
When the old marshal heard this, his eyes widened and he roared: "How dare he! As an old man, I want to see my grandson. Isn't it okay? I don't care whether he is really sick or fake. If he doesn't bother to bring my grandson over tomorrow, I will
Just take someone there in person!"
Victor was startled by the old marshal's roar and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
